Aly Jones.We all think of death at some time or another,whether by drowning or plane crash,and most of us had a brush with death especially,while travelling.My wife said that she did not want to live to long in old age,my answer was to her I will try and delay it as long as possible.But those who died on the Titanic did not deserve it.

I think that taking into account the 'women and children' hysteria, a great number of first and third class men managed to survive. Second class men and third class children was an absolute tragedy though.

Here are figures from the latest research by Lester Mitcham and others. Being lazy. I've copied from an e-mail I sent a while back.

Regarding the stats for the women and children on Titanic. It's impossible to be precise but we know that 712 survived, of which 388 were women and children. That's 55.5%.

The picture is a bit different when we look at how many were actually loaded into boats. We don't know the exact number loaded but it was about 665, of which 387 were women and children. That's 58%. (Rhoda Abbott swam for it).

Note: According to Titanic's Certificates for Clearance an adult passenger was aged “12 years and upwards”.I have never divided the children/infants into male/female. - But a quick count gives me 30 male and 26 female children/infants saved, with 26 male and 21 female children/infants lost.

That gives a result of:male passengers 851 of whom 161 survived and female passengers 466 of whom 339 survived.

You posted:

Children are Included as male and female passengers, no class. All men and women, Including all crew.

I understand you to be saying that you want to count the children as men and women. I believe that will only cause confusion. You should have either male and female or men, women and children.

How many men and how many women survived exactly?

323 and 333 - As males and females – 353 and 359

How many men and how many women that died amongst 1500?

1,340 and 109 out of 1,496. - As males and females 1,366 and 130 out of 1,496.

Aboard 2020 passengers,

There were 2,208 passengers and crew on board. - As Dave advised 1,317 passengers and 891 crew.

what were the ratio of male passengers and what were the ratio of female passengers board the ship?

Remember that in those days a boy not much older than 12 could leave school and take up an apprenticeship. Some went to sea very young and were officers before they were 20. It was not much different for girls. They married young and often died young. The world has changed.

That's exactly what they were' young boys, put into a man's job way to early. I perfectly understand what you are saying Dave. Boys today have a child hood, back then, there were no such thing as a childhood.
